Allow player to participate in B-Spec Endurance races as a Driver

Add the ability for me, as pit manager, to request a Pit Stop and step into the driving seat for my turn on longer B-Spec races.

This would break up the long periods of relative inactivity with a feeling of involvement as part of the team.

It may also provide an opportunity to rescue the team from defeat when the Bobs are not very experienced, and show them "how it is done"

Assuming that when and if B-Spec reprises in GT6, and assuming there is the "Pit Strategy" button, I would add the choice of driver to that button, and add the player as one of the eligible drivers. Of course, if I drive faster than my teammates, I'd like the crowd to cheer me louder and treat me with silent disdain if I let the team down .

I think this would work really well for true 24 hour races in B-Spec and would give the opportunity to share the driving amongst a number of different people (unknown to the game, probably).

As a refinement, I'd like to see statistics by driver at the end of one of these long races. Fastest lap, average speed for example.

For multiple human drivers, this would require the ability to identify which human driver has taken over.

I'd do this via an extension of the "Pit Strategy" dialog box, providing the capability to add drivers identified by initials or simple numbers. (Not requiring PSN id)
